Stocks ended the week on a positive note, with the Dow snapping a four-day losing streak, as investors were encouraged over the "fiscal cliff" talks in Washington, but still closed sharply lower for the week.
The Nasdaq logged its sixth consecutive week of losses, its longest streak in over three years. And the Dow posted its fourth straight losing week, the longest since last August.
Major U.S. Indexes
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 45.93 points, or 0.37 percent, to close at 12,588.31, snapping a four-day losing streak. Alcoa andHome Depot led the blue-chip gainers, while H-P sagged.
The S&P 500 climbed 6.55 points, or 0.48 percent, to end at 1,359.88. The Nasdaq rose 16.19 points, or 0.57 percent, to finish at 2,853.13.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, fell below 17.
For the week, the Dow dropped 1.77 percent, the S&P 500 fell 1.45 percent, and the Nasdaq declined 1.78 percent. Microsoft was the biggest weekly laggard on the Dow, while Cisco jumped.
All key S&P sectors finished in the red for the week, led by industrials and materials.
"I believe that the framework that I've outlined in our meeting today is consistent with the President's call for a fair and balanced approach," said Republican House Speaker John Boehner following the meeting with President Barack Obama. "I believe we can do this and avert the fiscal cliff that's right in front of us today." (Read More: How to Trade the 'Fiscal Cliff' Drama If No Deal Is Reached)
Worries over the fiscal cliff have pressured stocks ever since last week's presidential election, pushing major indexes down more than 5 percent across the board so far.
Earlier, White House officials were said to be in discussions to replace the so-called sequester—a slew of spending cuts that along with tax increases will take place automatically at the end of the year and likely put the U.S. into recession—with a package of smaller, more targeted spending cuts and tax increases, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"We're winding down earnings season and this should traditionally be a quiet news period, but with these negotiations going on, it will be the focus of the markets until they get settled," said John Fox, co-manager of the FAM Value Fund.
Facebook soared, continuing its post-lockup expiration rally and after the social-networking giant announced an expansion of Facebook Gifts ahead of the holiday shopping season. The company's stock is now up nearly 20 percent since Tuesday. Still, S&P reiterated its "hold" rating on the stock.
Meanwhile, Apple ended higher, rebounding after the iPad maker briefly traded near a nine-month low earlier in the session. Shares are now off 25 percent since hitting an all-time high in late September. (Read More: Once in a Lifetime Opportunity to Buy Apple?)
Separately, rival Google is close to releasing a "Maps" app for Apple's iOS6, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Among earnings, Dell slumped after the hardware giant missed earnings expectations and added that challenging macroeconomic conditions could put a pressure on the current quarter. At least 10 brokerages slashed their price target on the company.
Gap rallied after the clothing retailer posted better-than-expected earnings and boosted its profit outlook for the year. Canaccord Genuity raised its rating on the company to "hold" from "sell."
Sears slumped even after the department-store chain posted a narrower-than-expected loss and topped revenue estimates.
UPS slipped after the package delivery service said it is increasing its rates on all UPS Air and U.S. origin international services next year. Rival FedEx also edged lower.
Nike announced it will sell its Cole Haan brand to Apax Partners for $570 million. The transaction is expected to be complete in early 2013.
On the economic front, industrial production unexpectedly declined in October due to Hurricane Sandy, according to the Federal Reserve. The Fed said the storm is estimated to have reduced the rate of change in output by nearly 1 percentage point.

R.I. pension reformer makes gains
Rhode Island General Treasurer Gina Raimondo has experienced a rise to fame that most politicians can only envy. Raimondo, 41, a former venture capitalist, was virtually unknown in 2010 when she coasted to victory as a Democratic candidate in a deep-blue state. Soon the new treasurer surprised almost everyone by engineering the most sweeping overhaul of a public-pension system ever enacted.
By the time her reforms became law in November 2011, she was one of the most popular politicians in Rhode Island.

©2014 Propane Education & Research Council
Download this
brochure containing important information about propane safety and winter storms.
Information you need to know about propane safety and how to keep your family safe before and after winter storms. By taking a few simple propane-related safety precautions and discussing them with your family, you can reduce the potential for devastating property loss, personal injury, and even death.
AT ANY TIME - If you smell gas inside or outside of your home:
BEFORE - Be prepared for a winter storm
Make sure your propane tank, whether it is located above or below the ground, is marked properly by a flag, pole, or stake that is higher than the average snow cover depth for your location. This will increase the odds of it being seen by someone such as a snowplow operator, reducing the chances for a potentially fatal accident.
Have an adequate supply of propane in your tank. During and after a winter storm, roads leading to your home or farm might not be accessible for delivery. It is recommended that you establish a regular delivery schedule with your propane retailer.
Know how and where to shut off the outdoor propane supply and indoor propane appliances. For more information, contact your propane retailer.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY KNOW WHAT PROPANE SMELLS LIKE. Propane has a strong, unpleasant smell like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray, or a dead animal.
NEVER store or place a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area such as a basement, garage, shed, or tent.
It is recommended that you consider installing a carbon monoxide (CO) detector listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) on every level of your home. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Propane gas detectors provide an additional measure of security. It is recommended that you consider installing one or more propane gas detectors listed by UL. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Have a list of instructions on how to turn off electricity, propane, and water. Review suggested preparations for weather hazards such as winter storms with your propane retailer as well as other utility suppliers. Advise them of any special needs you may have.
Create an emergency preparedness plan and review it regularly with your family in order to keep them safe during a potential disaster.
DURING - What to do if a winter storm approaches
If a winter storm is predicted, listen to your local authorities, or television and radio stations, for instructions on the appropriate course of action to take. Although it is recommended to always have an adequate supply of propane in your tank, it is especially important during the winter months because in the event of a storm, roads leading to your home or farm might not be accessible for additional delivery.
Snow and ice can create serious problems for your home's propane system by freezing and cracking pipes, regulators, valves, or other types of propane equipment.
Make sure to clear snow and ice away from all outdoor vents, chimneys, and flues, thereby reducing the potential for CO poisoning. Whenever possible, use a broom instead of a shovel in order to not damage your propane system components.
Clear snow and ice from around your propane tank. If the pipes freeze and crack, gas can pool in the snow, causing it to become an ignition source, creating a potentially dangerous situation.
AFTER - What to do after a winter storm
After a winter storm, use caution in the area surrounding your home or farm. If you have any doubts about your safety, leave the area immediately and have your property inspected by a qualified building inspector or structural engineer before re-entering. Take the time to carefully evaluate the condition of all the structures on your property. If it is dark, use flashlights, not candles.
Look carefully around the entire area. Check for downed power lines; they can create major safety hazards. High winds or falling ice can move, shift, or damage gas lines and tanks. Immediately call your local utility company or propane retailer if any of these hazards exist.
Follow these general safety rules
Sometimes, as a result of a winter storm, a power outage can occur, or pipes can crack and burst due to extremely cold weather. To help reduce the potential for injury or death, there are general safety rules you should observe at all times:
If you suspect any of your propane appliances, equipment, or vehicles have been under water or they have been damaged, or you have turned off your gas supply:

text: Rapid Tests Get Scrutiny Just how sensitive are those rapid tests and what are the odds that a 'positive' result will be false. Little is known for sure. Compiled by staff Published on: Jun 29, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print USDA's announcement last Friday that a head of cattle had thrown a positive test for the presence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was considered an "inconclusive" result. The animal, which had been evaluated using a rapid test from BioRad, a California company, gave a positive result, which triggered the ag agency to send tissues to its National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa for further testing. While USDA officials expressed confidence in a press conference Friday night that the in-depth test would show a negative result, some question how sensitive those rapid tests are and whether USDA should be so confident. In a story reported on the Web by The New Scientist the writers point out that the testing program targets animals showing BSE-like symptoms and the rapid tests are very sensitive aiming to catch any possible infected animal. USDA does not provide information on the odds of the rapid test being positive and the European Commission, which tested the BioRad product before its use in 1999, never published the data. But industry sources told The New Scientist that BioRad throws a false positive at a rate of about one in a thousand in initial tests. BioRad is used in Germany and Belgium to test cattle. In Europe and Japan, if a cow's brain initially tests positive using the BioRad product, the animal is tested twise more. Only if one of those repeated tests is also positive are the tissues sent for further testing. The false positive rate after that repeated testing is even lower, about one in 100,000. The Japanese report that in tests of 1.5 million cattle, they've seen more than 100 false positives. The cattle industry, like USDA, will be waiting with great anticipation for the Ames test results later this week. Those could arrive as early as Wednesday. We'll keep you posted.

Upstate residents cautioned about ozone conditions
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Conditions have led to increased ground-level ozone concentrations in the Upstate of South Carolina, the state Department of Health and Environmental Control reported today.
DHEC has announced an Ozone Action Day for the following counties:
- Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg and Union
"When ozone levels are elevated, active children and adults as well as people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion," said Myra Reece, chief of DHEC's Bureau of Air Quality. "Ground-level ozone is formed when hot, dry, stagnant weather conditions exist. When that happens, emissions from vehicles contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone."
Reece said ways residents can help limit the formation of ground-level ozone include:
- Carpool
- Stay in at lunch
- Avoid excessive vehicle idling
- Use SMARTRIDE or other mass transit (To see if you have SMARTRIDE in your area, link to: http://www.scdot.org/getting/Smartride/smartride.shtml.)
DHEC's daily forecast for ground-level ozone can be found at: http://www.scdhec.gov/ozone or by calling toll-free (866) 238-4973. To receive the daily ozone forecast via e-mail, visit: https://enviroflash.info.

Alfredsson & the Sens- Regardless of if this is Daniel Alfredsson's last NHL season, it is nice to see him have some success near the end of it. During last night's 8-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Alfredsson had two goals and two assists. Alfredsson's last multi-point game came on February 25. The Senators are in the heat of Eastern Conference playoff race and more production from Alfredsson would go a long way for them. Seven players for Ottawa ended the night with multiple points.
Steven Stamkos- Stamkos had been dormant for four straight games coming into last night's game against the New York Islanders. The young star for the Tampa Lightning erupted for two goals and an assist as the Lightning went on to 4-3 over the Isles. Stamkos leads the NHL in goals with 52 tallies now and is just three points shy of the 90 point plateau and should be able to reach before the end of the regular season.
Kari Lehtonen- On the day the Dallas Stars paid tribute to Karlis Skrastins as a teammate and man, Skrstins' close friend, Kari Lehtonen played an excellent game in net for the Stars. Lehtonen stopped 35 of 36 Calgary Flames shots on net and a few were very difficult saves. The Finnish netminder has some gaudy statistics at this point in the season, 31 wins, 2.23 GAA, .925 SAV% and four shutouts.
Wilting Maple Leafs- At one point the Toronto Maple Leafs were in the playoff hunt. In their last 11 games they have only won three games. Marian Gaborik of the Rangers scored two goals last night to force overtime. In the shootout, Toronto goalie, Jonas Gustavsson stopped Gaborik but the Rangers still won, 4-3, with their other two shooters scoring on "The Monster."
Downed Jet?- There was not anything about the Winnipeg Jets' 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators that on its own makes it a dud. However given how tight the playoff races are and the few remaining games, one has to wonder if losing three games this week has put Winnipeg's playoff hopes in a compromised position. The Jets only have seven games left and none of them are against the two teams they are chasing (the Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres) for the bottom two playoff births. If the Senators slip to seventh, they do have one upcoming game with them. Winnipeg trails the final playoff team in the East, Washington by four points currently.
Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown- The Los Angeles Kings had high hopes coming into this season and are currently locked in a four-way battle for the last two playoff seeds in the West. However last night's 4-2 defeat against the Boston Bruins exemplifies the problems the team has been having all season. An offense that features Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown, Mike Richards, and now Jeff Carter should be able to muster enough offense to compete. However, the Kings' stars were all minuses on the night. Most of the top players for LA were minus-two or three against the Bruins as well. Another problem fully on display again was their issues with beating top teams in the league. They are not consistent enough or rise to the occasion of a big opponent to be as threatening in the playoffs as they should be on paper.

The battle of Mersey pride
One flick of his right boot was all that was needed for Kevin "Super Kev" Campbell to write himself into Everton lore, the striker immortalised in terrace song thanks to a match-winning goal in front of the Anfield Kop.
Fourteen years on, Campbell's neat finish past Sander Westerveld has become something of an albatross round the Toffees' neck. He remains the last man to secure all three points for Everton at the home of near neighbours Liverpool, with six losses and six draws in the Premier League since that 1-0 victory in 1999.
Should David Moyes take the decision to leave Goodison Park this summer, he will rightly be recognised as the club's most successful manager of the Premier League era. Yet he is bereft of two notable achievements. The first blot on the Scot's managerial copybook is the well-publicised absence of a trophy, with Joe Royle's 1995 FA Cup win Everton's last taste of silverware.
The second, achieved by both Royle and Moyes' compatriot Walter Smith, is a win at Anfield.
If it is such tangible accomplishments Moyes craves, he stands on the brink of an historic success. Even if Everton are defeated at Anfield this weekend, they would still have a two-point advantage over Liverpool in the battle for Mersey pride. Moyes is already the only Everton manager to have led his side to a higher Premier League finish than Liverpool - doing so in both 2004-05 and 2011-12 - and, should they still stand above their city rivals come May 18, he would become the first post-war Toffees boss to claim successive higher top-flight finishes than their city rivals.
For the Everton fans who have watched Liverpool win no fewer than ten trophies since Dave Watson lifted the FA Cup aloft at Wembley back in 1995, a summer of jokes at the expense of friends, families and work colleagues of a red disposition would be particularly satisfying.
However, it is a return to a regular place among the elite that those supporters in blue so desire. Everton's most recent dreams of a return to the Champions League qualifying rounds they last graced in 2005 were all but ended by a gut-wrenching loss to Sunderland on their last away day. Local bragging rights would be a consolation prize.
Finishing above their rivals is of course by no means assured for Everton, who still face West Ham at home and, more importantly, a trip to Champions League-chasing Chelsea on the final day of the season. With Liverpool travelling to Fulham and then hosting relegated QPR in their last game, there is every chance that Brendan Rodgers can steer the Reds to a sixth-place finish - an admirable effort in what has been a season of rebuilding at Anfield.
There has been some breathtaking attacking football to behold from Liverpool at times, exemplified by last week's 6-0 destruction of Newcastle. But it has often been tempered by defensive naivety, with the decision to reinstate the soon-to-be retired Jamie Carragher to the heart of defence showing a recognition that it is crucial to marry youth and experience when constructing a new team.
Carragher's departure for the bright lights of football punditry will be a major loss for Liverpool, particularly on days such as this Sunday: the boyhood Everton fan has been a near ever-present in derbies for 15 years. While Carragher's temperament will be missed in future matches, it is the temperamental Luis Suarez who will be the notable absentee again at Anfield. In the reverse fixture at Goodison back in October, Suarez took centre stage with a virtuoso display that should have given Liverpool the spoils. Playing a role in both of Liverpool's goals as they rushed into a 2-0 lead, the Uruguayan produced an enduring image with his diving celebration in front of a bemused Moyes, who before the match had accused him of a fondness for simulation. Everton fought back to level the scores at 2-2 before Suarez was controversially denied a last-gasp winner by the assistant's offside flag.
Merseyside meetings certainly have a reputation for fireworks, with the on-pitch tempestuousness regularly belying its "friendly derby" label, and though there has been only one red card in the past three seasons - the questionable dismissal of Jack Rodwell in October 2011 - no Premier League fixture has produced more red cards than its 20. With league position and civic pride at stake, the 220th Merseyside derby could be a fittingly frenetic farewell for Carragher, and maybe Moyes.
Liverpool player to watch: Daniel Sturridge. Any concerns that Luis Suarez's absence would adversely affect the Reds were washed away by a splendid performance from Sturridge against Newcastle. While Sturridge's former team-mate Fernando Torres has managed seven goals in 32 Premier League games for Chelsea, the England striker has scored seven goals in 11 matches for Liverpool in what has been an impressive start to his Anfield career. Sturridge has a good record against Everton, having scored in three of his last four games against the Toffees for Chelsea and Bolton.
Everton player to watch: Victor Anichebe. An impact sub for the majority of his seven-year spell with Toffees, Anichebe had started just 39 Premier League games prior to this season. However, with persistent injury problems apparently now behind him, the Nigerian has 16 starts to his name in 2012-13 and has kept Nikica Jelavic out of the side in recent weeks. Anichebe, whose physicality and work-rate have won David Moyes over, also holds the remarkable record of never having lost a match in which he has scored. Everton will be hoping that run continues on Saturday.
Key battle: Philippe Coutinho v Steven Pienaar. The creative focal points of their respective teams, Coutinho and Pienaar are capable of the sort of artistry that is required to unlock the opposition on a derby battlefield. Liverpool's Brazilian maestro has been a revelation since arriving in January and was on top form again in the 6-0 destruction of Newcastle. Pienaar also provided a notable contribution last week, scoring Everton's match-winning goal against Fulham. The South Africa playmaker missed October's derby through suspension and will be keen to make amends by playing an influential role at Anfield.
Trivia: Under David Moyes, Everton have played 44 away games against the former "big four" of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and are yet to win. They have taken just 17 points from 132 on offer.
Stats: Lucas Leiva has made a tackle more frequently than any other player in the Premier League this season (every 14.9 minutes on average). Expect him to up that average at Anfield.
Odds: Given their imperious record at Anfield against their rivals, it is not surprising that Liverpool are favourites at 2.00 with bet365, while Everton are 3.75 and the draw is 3.50.
Prediction: Liverpool have looked stronger and stronger in recent weeks, and should just edge the derby despite the absence of Luis Suarez.

Terrible new product
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1996421 From Alabama on Dec 28, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Have been told that the complete Stevia product was in the past mixed and put together by one person who has left his company,and did not reveal the formular that he was using in the past.Recieved a 5lb bage on the 24th of December.My wife and I have been drinking the same coffee and using NuStevia for 5 or 6 years. This new stuff is terrible.No sweet taste at all and the price went sky high. Can't understand why the new product wasn't tried out and confirmed before it was pushed out to the public. Buyer Beware!!!!!

This product would be perfect if not for the addition of maltodextrin.
Forced scarcity

Price has skyrocketed over the last few months. For the longest time I paid about $45 per 5lb bag from iHerb. Five pound bags no longer available, except at the NuNaturals website, and at an outrageous price (over $1 an oz). Suspect, in light of Stevia becoming more widely popular, NuNaturals is forcing the price way up by fabricating scarcity. The Stevia plant is no more scarce now then it has been in the past. No legitimate reason for the price to have doubled in the last year. Do not buy from NuNaturals.
The sweetest diabetic friend I know with no extra calories consumed to go.

I recommend this sugar alternative hands down. It does what it's described will do. It is bitter free, natural, calorie free, twice the strength of sugar cane so half the strength of other sugar substitutes is used and it is so easy to use in my baking and cooking. I can substitute the sugar in any recipe I have chosen so far. It doesn't take long to learn what dose is required when using it in preparation of any recipe. Because I have diabetes in the family I know I am at risk myself so finding a product like this the "Stevia" in a Powdered concentrate is already to use. It is not only affordable but a far healthier choice in comparison to the others which are linked to cancer causing agents used to process the substitues. But the best thing of all for me is I don't have to forego my yummy sweet treats and it tastes soo good. Thankyou
Great value!

I use this NuNaturals stevia almost exlusively instead of sugar. This is a great value in a 5 pound bag. It is the same Non-bitter, zero calorie powder sold in 4oz and 12 oz sizes.

Stage 1
Intended for motorcycles with a stock engine using the stock airbox, air filter and stock pipe. Stage 1 kits are fully adjustable to allow the use of a well designed aftermarket pipes and stock replacement air filters like K&N. Stage 1 kits are designed to improve throttle response and driveability and in most cases power increases of approximately 5% throughout the entire power range can be achieved.
Stage 3
Intended for motorcycles with stock or mildly tuned engines using a well designed aftermarket pipe and individual air filters. In most cases power increases of 10-15% can be achieved. However driveability may be compromised particularly with short stroke, high rpm motors. On some modern engine and airbox designs, individual filters and proper jetting offer no performance improvement yet compromise driveability, in such cases stage 3 kits are not available.

Naartjie Kids now has an online store plus 60 retail stores in the U.S. and South Africa with more openings planned in the future.

Always fresh, we introduce 11 new collections each year that are the ultimate mix & match concept with colors, prints and styles coordinating throughout seasonal groups.

Big Blue Bric-a-Brac: Kentucky Spidermen Edition
November 15th, 2010 08:20 PM║ Posted By: MrSEC.com ║ Permalink
Tags: Cam Newton, East Tennessee St, Ken Howlett, Kentucky Spidermen
Content provided by A Sea Of Blue.

Competitiveness, thy name is Hartline.
You've seen them on the tube during games this season — Kentucky fans dressed as Spiderman, only with a blue outfit instead of a red and blue one. Wonder about them, ever? I have.
Leave it to A Sea of Blue's own Ken Howlett to investigate that matter, and discover the hidden secrets behind the Kentucky Spidermen over at CoachCal.com. Enjoy it.
Terrance Jones has his first SEC Freshman of the Week award for his stellar performance against the East Tennessee St. Buccaneers last Friday.
Jones was impressive in his freshman debut, and even though he may be a long way from the second coming of DeMarcus Cousins, Jones is showing the kind of versatility that Cousins lacked. Despite his tremendous impact on the Wildcats last year, Cousins was cast in a pretty one-dimensional role. Jones does not have that problem, and he has the skill set to handle almost any role that the young Wildcats need.
You have to hand it to Mike Hartline, he has really been a revelation this year at quarterback. Most people in the Big Blue Nation had serious doubts about his ability coming into this year, but he has put them all emphatically to rest and is having what would surely be an all-SEC season if not for the presence of Arkansas' Ryan Mallett and Auburn's Cam Newton.
Larry Vaught explains Hartline's legacy of competitiveness.
It does not look as if Mitch Barnhart is being seriously considered for the Kansas AD position despite a report by Sports by Brooks linked by Ken earlier. (Hat tip: Matt Jones). More recently, there is this typical non-response.
What this report does not say is that Barnhart is not being interviewed, and he may well be. SbB's intimation that concern about Calipari's recruiting as a reason sounds like nonsense to me, but Dan Wolken recently tweeted that Calipari's friends in Memphis are saying that Cal and Barnhart don't see eye to eye.
Does Barnhart get along with anyone besides Rich Brooks? I'm just asking, but he didn't get along with Tubby Smith, nor Billy Gillispie, and now he has issues with Calipari? Maybe he just doesn't like college basketball, or perhaps schools at which basketball is the biggest sport. If so, Kansas is definitely the wrong place for him.
Andrew Sharp on the Cam Newton affair:
Next thing you know, CBS' SEC halftime show becomes a soliloquy about integrity, with Spencer Tillman talking of a father selling his son. "This is so disappointing to me," he said. "Sport merely reflects what's going on in society … And we're losing our moral compass."
…And here we are. Pretending this doesn't happen all the time, pretending that it shouldn't happen at all, and waxing poetic about some grand ideal that doesn't (and shouldn't) exist anywhere else in America. It's the one aspect of this eccentric little world that's not charming in the least. It's cruel and exploitative. But most of all, the attitude of the media is just insulting.
Basically, they've taken word-of-mouth testimony from transparently shaky sources and used that as an excuse to execute a witch hunt against the most famous player in college football. And that would be fine, but not when you consider how many rumors these guys hear every day about this guy who took that, or that guy who took this. The rumors are everywhere, and completely believable.
Even if you don't know Cam Newton from Wayne Newton, you need to read the whole thing.

That mark provisionally qualified her for the Olympic rials as just a high school sophomore. By the first week of June, she knew she was headed to the Olympic trials.
She leaves today to take on America's best in Eugene, Ore. The Olympic trials for the high jump begin Thursday with the finals scheduled for Saturday.
"I couldn't believe it. When my coaches told me I made 'A' standard, 'I was like oh funny joke. There's no way I could go. Do they even let 15-year-olds into the Olympic trials?' It's a huge deal for me," she said.
Williams said she looks forward to being around the other elite jumpers and maybe picking up some tips. She certainly will be among some impressive company. Amy Acuff will be attempting to qualify for her fifth straight Olympics and her qualifying mark of 1.95 meters is tied with two other athletes for second best. However, one athlete has cleared two meters and is the favorite to qualify first for the U.S. squad. Chaunte Lowe has a mark of 2.02m this year.
Williams' qualifying height of 1.87m puts her in the middle of the pack of qualifiers, but it was the top performance by high school competitors.
"I'm not nervous because I know I have nothing to lose. I'm just going to go in for the experience," Williams said. "I know in the next four years if I go, I'm going to have to be competitive, so I'm just going to enjoy it now."
The top three jumpers qualify for the Olympics, but there will be three alternates originally. When the team heads to London for the 2012 Summer Olympic games, only one alternate will travel across the pond.
Williams will be headed to the Olympic trials as a two-time Gatorade Nevada Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year. She earned the award for the second straight year a week ago.
The honor not only recognizes athletic greatness but also academic achievement and exemplary personal character.
This year on the track, Williams was a three-time state champion in individual events. She won the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.11 seconds and the 300m hurdles in 42.86 seconds. Williams repeated as a state champion in the high jump, clearing 5 feet, 11 inches at the state meet. She also was part of the 4x400m relay squad that took first at state.
"When I think about what sets Gabby apart from the rest of her competition is her dedication, work ethic and her love of competition," Reed track coach Dale Moss said. "She is always constantly working on her skills, especially her weaknesses. When she is asked to do something by her coaches, even when it is harder or above her current abilities, she says she can do it."
Williams maintained a weighted 3.59 grade-point average and volunteered locally, providing Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children. She has worked as a youth basketball coach and instructor.

JEERS - To no changes. It's December again, and the cities of Gloversville and Johnstown are starting to enforce their winter on-street parking bans. Again, we urge the cities to change their winter parking rules. Residents in Gloversville may not park on city streets between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., while in Johnstown, no cars may park on city streets between midnight and 6 a.m. If either city truly wants to make life a little easier for its residents, it should end the winter parking ban. By allowing people to park on at least one side of the street overnight during the winter, as many other cities do, Gloversville and Johnstown would make people feel like the cities are trying to help them, not frustrate them. The parking bans create an inconvenience for many people, and force some motorists to park on lawns or walk several blocks to a public lot or rented parking space. We suggest that in 2013, the cities discuss the winter parking rules in June so they do not continue to be rubber-stamped year after year in November.
CHEERS - To no tax increase. The Gloversville Common Council on Tuesday adopted the 2013 budget, which includes no tax increase or layoffs. A?total of $543,324 from the city's growing fund balance was partially used to achieve this. Mayor Dayton King's praises for the work of department heads and council members should be echoed by others. The mayor also offered a prediction: "I'd be willing to say next year we will reduce taxes in the city of Gloversville." He may have been too quick to make that statement, but we hope it comes true for Gloversville and other localities.
CHEERS - To community spirit. Yes, it's a fact many things in our area have changed, some good, some not so good. But one constant is the sense of community and generosity. The critics who say the "newspaper" only prints negatives are not reading the entire paper. We are proud to publish the recent photos and news releases reflecting the caring spirit of local people during this holiday season. Among them:?Pleasant Avenue Elementary students raised money for a classmate, Nathan Littauer Hospital employees donated to Fulmont Community Action Agency, What Women Do of Caroga Lake donated to Nathan Littauer, a local library collected donations for a food pantry, and the list goes on. The spirit of giving is as strong as ever in our area.

This text discusses Yerucham, 1997 (P11752-11755), four photographs by Gilad Ophir from the Necropolis Series, a collective work by Israeli artists Ophir and Roi Kuper (born 1956). Tate owns a number of other photographs from this group, five by Ophir (titled Shooting Targets, 1997, P11747-11751), and eight by Kuper (all Untitled, 1999, P11736-P11743).
The Yerucham photographs portray abandoned camp emplacements near the small development town of Yerucham in the Negev desert, southern Israel. None of these sites are marked on the map but knowledge of them is gained by word of mouth. They are thus secret or quasi-secret locations. No reason is given and no evidence available as to why the camp was abandoned. Ophir highlights the issue of colonisation of the desert, this time for military reasons, when man displays his omnipotence by imposing structure and order on nature. However, once vacated nature strikes back and the weeds begin to reclaim their ground. An emblem of power becomes an emblem of absence where the power has been emptied out… (read more)

Notice of Petition - "Compensation, Retirement Programs and Related Benefits"
Al Stephens
1396 rockdale rd
Wytheville, VA 24382-4243
April 10, 2013
Barry F Mardock
Deputy Director, Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Barry Mardock:
Thank you for requesting comment on the regulatory petition filed by The
Farm Credit Council regarding the Agency's say on pay mandatory
shareholder vote on compensation matters.
As a director of a Farm Credit System institution, I support the request
contained in the Council's petition that the agency withdraw the say on
pay vote requirement. Asking shareholders to vote on matters that are the
purview of the board of directors is inconsistent with the Farm Credit
Act, with cooperative principles, undermines the role and responsibility
of directors to represent the interests of shareholders and increases
litigation exposure for directors and institutions. Shareholder
engagement on compensation matters already exists through the disclosure
requirements that are in place and the ability of shareholders to express
their views on these matters to management and boards at any time.
Please modify the final rule on compensation and benefit program
disclosure to remove the requirement for say on pay voting.
Al Stephens Director Farm Credit of Virginia

Dear Friends
I have launched our new website www.wisnetsol.com.
Please give me your suggestions, that how can i improve it. Specially from the perspective to increase traffic and reduce bounce Rate.
Currently, I am using Google Adwords and Face Book Advertising to get traffic. Google Adwords is quite expensive for my industry as competition is high, on the other side Face Book is cheap, but bounce rate is as high as 80%.
I will be highly oblidged with your comments.
I found your site to be good and attractive. The bounce rate would improve with time. This happens with most of new sites.
Thanks Sharma
Asking questions to engage readers, displaying popular and related posts are some great ways to increase CTR.
Linking from within your posts to your other articles can also help a lot.
Are your ad's relative to the page the visitors are landing on? Are they a 'no bulls**t' ad with false promises? Making your ad relative, direct and too the point should help your bounce rate as they will be more targeted ads, yes you may get less clicks but you should have a higher success rate with sales and lower bounce rate...
If you need any more tips on ads drop me a line i'll point you in the right direction
ps btw i like your site design...
It's a really nice design.
Short of maybe more images and having header/subject text standing out more there isn't much to improve on.
A high bounce rate usually means that the users come to your website and don't find what they were looking for, or, quickly assume that your site won't help them.
You should review the keywords you're bidding on and sort them into 3 sectors, then by turning off 2 out of 3 of those secots for a week - see what happens to your bounce rate, then try again with a different sector turned on - this way you'll see which set of keywords give you lowest bounce rate.
I think the web design is good and I agree with some of the other users that the bounce rate will decrease once you start getting good traffic. Continue with your SEO efforts, as your organic traffic increases your bounce rate will decrease. Also the advantage of that is you will be able to decrease your adwords spending as the organic traffic grows.
Nice Job.
Make it great,
Hi Wisdomtalks,
First I must say I agree with the posters above; I like the look and feel of your website. I can't imagine that this site has a high bouncerate, that is, if you are getting relevant traffic. I actually had the same problem with my site. Buying traffic on Facebook can be tricky, if you are using a program like Google Analytics you will be able to segment your data on traffic source. You will immediatly find out which traffic-source bounces, and which provides you with good traffic. Facebook didn't work for me, so I decided to focus on Google Adwords, that decreased my bouncerate from 76% to 29%.
Boosting your SEO will also help alot.
Hope this will help
Regards, Adrian.
The only way you will improve bounce rate is by giving the visitors what they want.
Whilst advice is great it is only opinion as only you know about your visitors and no-one else.
If you are using Google Analytics or a similar system you will be able to see the bounce rate for each page.
Simply look at the pages with low bounce rates and use those as a basis to improve other high bounce pages and create new pages.
It may be that your visitors are not finding the solution to their problem on your pages, check how they are getting to the page then adjust your ads or for organic traffic make sure the page delivers on the title and description.
For example on my page about free solar panels I have provided all the basic information a visior may need, if it is a long page and not everyone likes long pages make sure you use sub headlines to emphasize the main points of your content.
Hope this helps
I was reading my RSS today and found this article. Great piece and will give you some more options to reduce your bounce rate. http://on.mash.to/dAsuEk
Hope that helps,
I see a lot of offers in your homepage. When you use the advertising, do you promote your homepage or specific landing pages? I recommend to promote all of your services separately - e. g. create a new advertisement for a logo design and make the target URL a page with details about logo design. This way you will increase your conversions (and also the bounce rate will be lower).

Inspector-General of Taxation's Report
Review into improving the Self Assessment System
"The Inspector-General of Taxation's review into improving aspects of the income tax self-assessment system [arises] from stakeholder concerns that recent administrative practices have swung the pendulum from a pure self-assessment system back towards a quasi-full assessment system, without any of the previous benefits available from the former regime and with increased taxpayer costs."
The Inspector-General of Taxation (IGOT) has released the findings from his review of Australia's self-assessment system for income tax. The review arose from a concern that the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) recent administration of certain large business and international taxpayers indicates that the ATO is (for these taxpayers) operating a quasi-full assessment system, absent the benefits of the previous system and with increased costs to the taxpayer.
The report makes 33 recommendations. Of those recommendations, the ATO accepted 13 outright or in principle, disagreed with 1 recommendation and considered that it was more appropriate for the Government or Treasury to consider 17 recommendations1.
Areas of concern in the current Self Assessment system
The review identifies four areas of the existing Self Assessment system as being of particular concern:
- The advice framework - assistance by the ATO in helping taxpayers to understand their responsibilities under the tax law, and the operation of the tax law by the provision of advice.
Problems noted in this regard include unnecessary delays, costs and a perceived lack of sufficient objectivity by the ATO.
- ATO compliance approaches - the impact of the ATO's current risk-based approach to identifying and reviewing taxpayers, including the earlier (pre-lodgement) compliance review activity of the ATO.
The report notes concerns that those taxpayers subject to this new compliance approach face an increased compliance burden without a corresponding increase in the level of certainty.
- Penalty and interest regimes - the impact of the ATO's current compliance approaches on the administration and imposition of penalties and interest.
The IGOT observes that there has been a significant level of unsustainable penalty decisions, perhaps arising due to certain penalty decisions being made arbitrarily by the ATO, and an unfair burden being placed on taxpayers to prove their position regardless of materiality.
- Tax law complexity and administering the law in a practical manner - given the ever-increasing complexity of the tax law, and the requirement of the ATO to interpret and administer the law, the ATO's role in developing this legislation (to ensure that it accords with policy intent) is crucial.
Given this complexity and problems inherent in the ATO administering tax law which may often not align with the policy intent, the report notes that taxpayers face continuing increased costs and uncertainty as regards their tax affairs.
Deloitte's view on the ATO's response to the IGOT's key recommendations
It is disappointing that the ATO has deferred 17 of the key recommendations to the Government. This includes a number of recommendations which would offer taxpayers increased certainty such as limiting the ATO review period for those taxpayers subject to earlier and more comprehensive disclosure (such as pre-lodgement compliance activities).
Notwithstanding, the recommendations accepted by the ATO do demonstrate a commitment to increasing disclosure by the ATO and offering taxpayers more certainty at the same time as reducing the costs of complying with their tax obligations.
1. The ATO agreed in part with 2 recommendations
